You can give root privs to users just inside the chroot. That's what
root_groups is for in the config file. The user doesn't need full
root access to the host system (like with plain sbuild, which requires
full sudo privs), though obviously it's still possible to subvert, but
not as simple as with sudo. Either way, not something for untrusted
users to have access to, but schroot does at least give you a bit more
safety.
Once it has Xen capability, it will give each user their own personal
Xen instance. This will be created on the fly from e.g. an LVM
snapshot or unionfs, but this can be configurable.
Regards,
Roger
